About a year ago we decided to take the training wheels off, so did just that and they took all of about 10 minutes of riding in the front yard (because grass hurts a lot less than concrete, obviously) before they got it. Then it was out to the dykes in Pitt Meadows where after a couple of good crashes, they just took off and neither one looked back.

Now they want to start BMX racing next spring. Oh, their mother hasn't seen anything yet… :)

I neglected my fatherly duty with the bike as well and lived in an apartment complex with no safe place to teach my son. He is six now, has a new bike, we moved and next door is a mostly empty parking lot! However he was also given a pair of roller blades for his birthday and he seems more interested in them! Trumped by roller blades! Same spot here JP. I neglected my fatherly duty with the bike as well and lived in an apartment complex with no safe place to teach my son.
